[Raptor]

Wiki is fast -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Meachem

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Robert Meachem (born September 28, 1984) is an American football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_football) wide receiver (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_receiver) for the Buffalo Bills (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffalo_Bills) of the National Football League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Football_League). He was originally drafted by the Saints 27th overall in the 2007 NFL Draft (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NFL_Draft). He played college football (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_football) at Tennessee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennessee_Volunteers_football).

[ServoBillieves]

I wouldn't mind Meachem, he's a product of a system and he can be a product of ours.

Also, he's a name I've heard before, so Buddy wasn't lying if that's the case.

Let's all calm down and wait for a link (or poll... wait... this isn't a Mike thread...)

This can be edited by anyone. This is just a rumor.

[SquishDaFish]

Anyone could update wiki that isnt a source LOL

[clumping platelets]

Nothing so far on NFL LIve about Meachem

[Ed]

John Clayton of espn is saying that Robert Meachem is on his way to Buffalo.

EDIT: Link

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/55084/bucs-lose-potential-competitor-for-jackson

[jamze132]

Per ESPN...

Clayton also has some news on another receiver. That’s New Orleans’ Robert Meachem. He’s on his way to Buffalo.

[PromoTheRobot]

On his way to meet the Bills. He hasn't signed a deal yet.

PTR

[Mski]

Clayton also has some news on another receiver. That’s New Orleans’ Robert Meachem. He’s on his way to Buffalo. everything on twitter says he's coming in for a meeting not that he's signed

[DBrown77]

visiting, not signed. 2 different things

[ddaryl]

Did you see it personally?


did I post that I saw it personally NO.. I merely said it's being posted on multiple forums

I should of added multiple people.

unless their is some huge conspiracy to post the same report from a multitude of accounts then I tend to believe that it has some truth.


However it's looking like more of a visit now.... so it looks like the internet strikes again with reacting before verifying

[psubills62]

Possible he's agreed to terms and will sign during the visit.

[ServoBillieves]

MARTIN NANCE!

[The Spaz]

Young, Height, and Speed and productivity in limited time.

[Forward_Lateral]

He'd be a good signing. He's not V Jackson, but he'd come a hell of a lot cheaper, and has a lot of upside, IMO.

[DrGraves]

I like him alot as a number 2 across from Johnson.

Easy buddy, just asked a question.

[wmoz11]

This guy would be a very, very good signing. Perfect dynamic across from Stevie (speed, speed, speed) and allows Nelson to stay in the slot full-time.

[BertSquirtgum]

Meachem would be a great signing anyone that thinks differently is :crazy:

If they sign williams and meachem and i would buy more than one set of season tickets again for the first time in 3 years.

[Philagape]

He's good enough to be the other starter, but they better not give him a huge deal. If he's such a physical specimen, why wasn't he a star in New Orleans? He had plenty of opportunity with an elite offense.
Productive? He's never had more than 45 catches or 722 yards in a season. David Nelson had that kind of year last year. Meachem has a decent amount of TDs, but that's with the Saints.

[ddaryl]

Easy buddy, just asked a question.

no problems.. I just was a little perplexed by your reply when I thought mine was obvious..


I don't feel I came across too nasty.. a tad sarcastic, but civil

I'd like Meachem, but its Williams or bust for me. Anything less would be a disappointment. If we do land Mario, anything else would just be a cherry on the top.

[clumping platelets]

I find it amazing they didn't mention him at all on NFL LIve......that being said..........he cannot get more $$$$ than SJ if he signs here

it was weird tho, everytime i saw the saints they played like 6 WR"s in 2-3 wr sets

and then add jimmy graham and bush/sproils

it was always weird sets and they never seemed to always be the same guys

pissed me off for fantasy only reason i noticed plus they were all teen numbers

[DraftBoy]

Here is BBD's quick take with latest updates;

Let me put it this way: Why did Colston become the star wideout over Meachem, a first-round pick?
How are Meachem's hands, routes, savvy? Not saying I don't want him, just that I don't see him as this stud like others apparently do.

[Oaf]

With Morgan and Garcon apparently gone, I would not let this guy leave Buffalo. Been my #1 target in FA, considering how well he'd compliment Stevie's skill set. Hoping this comes through.

[The Jokeman]

This can be edited by anyone. This is just a rumor.
It's not a tumor err wait.

[Philagape]

And that's one reason why I'm leery of him. For like 3 years in a row I took him in the 12-14 rounds as my sleeper, never panned out

[BertSquirtgum]

i right there with you. if the Bills let him leave without signing him, i'm going to be very depressed.

Yes but even times they didnt have colston in the game when he should be, it was like why are they using meachem and moore. all i am saying is it never seemed to be a set #1 and #2 i think in buffalo it will be that way

obviously we will mix it up but saints just confused me sometimes

[X-Era]

It's interesting. I would have thought V-Jax but they go Meachem first. And it's clear they wanted him over V-Jax?

Meachem seems to have some dropsy's but he's a very good WR.

[YardRat]

Garcon got more from Washington than SJ did from Buffalo. IMO if the Bills offer is anything less then Pierre's, he at least going to listen to some other teams.

[The Spaz]

This sucks if the Bills will have to pay Garcon got like 40mil from the Redskins.

[Slim]

Someone on BBMB says Joe B said Meachem is in Buffalo as we speak.

[Philagape]

Garcon got more from Washington than SJ did from Buffalo. IMO if the Bills offer is anything less then Pierre's, he at least going to listen to some other teams.

Then c ya. That would be huge insult to Stevie. Meachem is worth maybe half that. Has never had more than 45 catches in a season.

[DrGraves]

Meachem >>>> Jones = Nelson = Martin = Roosevelt = Parrish

[Extremebillsfan247]

Meachem is reportedly already in Buffalo per WGR550. Listening in live, so no link yet.

[DGreg]

I looked at it again as I paused the tv and then posted. It said and I quote "Meacham signs with Buffalo" My guess is that ESPN jumped the gun. I just posted what I saw. If you want I can take a pic of my tv with that posting and put it on here.

[DrGraves]

I hope they get it done... the WR pool is drying up VERY quickly

[Ed]

It's being reported that the Rams and Chargers are interested in Meachem too.

[Philagape]

Jeff Russo ‏ @JeffRussoWKBW
Eyewitness Sports cameras just got video of Robert Meachem joining #billd officials and Mario Williams for dinner in downtown Buffalo.

[DrGraves]

if they joined up for dinner this has to be happening!!

[Tatonka]

meacham has made some big plays for the saints and would be a great fit for buffalo. his numbers would undoubtedly be better than competing with several very good targets in N.O. new orleans has the best TE in the game (or one of them), colston, who has been brees's security blanket since day one, and another 1st rounder in devry henderson, plus lance more, and the rbs that they use as wrs all on the time to create mismatches. is he the best wr out there? no, but he is exactly what we need across from stevie. He is big and fast and will command coverage. we need that guy that can get 45-55 catches a season and break some games open for us.

[vanbillsfan]

buffalobills.com confirms Meachem at dinner:

http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-1/FA-WR-Meachem-latest-to-appear-in-Buffalo/50e08bbc-cb2d-4d5f-b8f6-850571ac8d66

[Tatonka]

as far as the contract, i dont think his past performance commands #1 wr money. garcon is the skins #1 now. i think he would command high end #2 money tho just based on supply and demand. he is one of the top free agents out there. i would have loved garcon, but i dont see much difference between the two. both have had somewhat inconsistent hands at times and played with great qbs.. but i think they have the same amount of upside.

[Mr. Pink]

Meachem would be a solid signing and a solid number 2 WR here.

Get it done!

[DrGraves]

I'm freakkking out.... some one get me some xanax. HOLLYYY PISSS! so exciting!

[ddaryl]

Meachem is a good #2 WR. He'll stretch the field, and he has some size.

He should come just under what Stevie signed for, my guess is he'll get a $5 mil a year offer, maybe upwards toward $6 IMO

[DBrown77]

no problems.. I just was a little perplexed by your reply when I thought mine was obvious..

I did read it wrong. So much was going on all at once.
